Aims & Scope

Mobile Networks and Applications' technical scope covers mobility solutions that provide communication technologies and mobile services, which enables users to access resources and share information freely, anytime anywhere. The emerging symbiosis of wireless communication, the ever more powerful mobile devices, with the back-end resources of the cloud, making the user fully location independent. The journal addresses the convergence of mobility, computing and information organization, services and management. In approving Special Issues, the Journal places an equal emphasis on the various areas of nomadic computing, data management, related software and hardware technologies, and mobile user services, alongside more `classical' topics in wireless and mobile networking. The journal documents practical and theoretical results which make a fundamental contribution.
